Garden University: Nature Treasure Hunt & Keepsake Art

About this event

Join us for the first of our Jr. Gardener’s Club fall programming! Children will begin with playful yoga, followed by a short nature treasure hunt to discover fallen leaves, grasses, seed pods and other natural treasures. They’ll then paint and create a keepsake frame or nature collage using the items they’ve collected. The purchase of a ticket includes Garden Admission for one child and one caregiver so you and your little one can wander the Oregon Garden, looking for frogs in our A-Mazing Water Garden or listen to the busy bees in our Apiary after the workshop is done! Location: Children’s Garden Time: 10:00-12:00pm Age range: 3-12 **Siblings receive a discount!** Purchase tickets HERE. — About the Instructors Hi, I’m Tricia Lewis, founder of Mat & Chat Yoga.
